"Building Cognitive and Social-Emotional Competence One Day Training Module"
Summary:
This one-hour webinar is designed to help Youth and Families Thrive trainers use the one-day BUILDING COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE module. All the materials you need to present this workshop to your staff or community group are available. The webinar will focus on how to plan and use the course materials to present the one-day module on Building Cognitive and Social-Emotional Competence.
The one-day Building CSE Competence module takes the material presented in the Youth and Families ThriveTM courses to the next level in understanding the HOW of using the competencies. It presents important ideas from the full course and allows participants to explore how the CSE competencies operate in daily experience and personal lives…and what we can do to help young people develop and strengthen them in their lives.
The module can be presented as two days of training. The first day focuses on helping participants explore their own CSE competence and develop a plan for increasing their use of the competencies in their work with youth. The second day provides program staff with a process for identifying how CSE competences are currently being taught and identifying opportunities and strategies for expanding their use in an organization’s youth programming.
Objectives:
Participants will:
- Become familiar with the workshop materials and options for presentation

"Ethics for Trainers: Applying the NSDTA Code of Ethics for Training and Development Professionals"
Summary:
This workshop will introduce participants to the NSDTA Code of Ethics for Training and Development in Human Services, the most widely used code of ethics specifically for trainers. It provides practical examples of how to integrate the Code into training, and applying its values and principles in ethical scenarios. Its application enables trainers to plan ethically informed learning events.
Since the inception of the National Staff Development and Training Association (NSDTA), increasingly complex social problems (e.g., poverty, homelessness, domestic violence, child maltreatment, unemployment, substance abuse, Covid 19) co-existing with increased funding challenges, have elevated the need for a well-trained human services workforce.
Changes have also occurred within the human services training and development work environment (e.g., increased funding for training in many human services areas, advent of the private training consultant, increased litigation of training, learners who have experienced trauma, availability of distance technology and alternative delivery models). These changes have created the need for highly competent training and development professionals who can deal with ethical issues emerging from new practices and/or conflicting values and responsibilities.
Objectives:
Participants will:
- Introduce child welfare trainers to the NSDTA code and its application
- Explore an 8-step process for applying the code
- Practice applying the code to training scenarios
- Network with other child welfare trainers
